My head is like a maze

My head is like a maze,
It is hard to navigate,
My memories are as high as walls and as solid as a rock,
Sometimes I try my best to forget but my soul won't let go.
But my memories just gets stored to the back of my head,
It can be hard to keep it straight,
My thoughts come and go like waves that crash the ocean floor.
No matter what i do i just can't seem to get them under control,
My mind is a mess and it takes forever just to get some rest,
Sometimes it is hard to get my mind to align with the rest of my body.
When my mind is out of control it feels like the rest of my body is limp,
As if I'm in a continuous nightmare that seems so real yet it is completely fake for I am wide awake,
I love hard and I seem to care too much.
My mind tries to shield my heart but it never works,
My mind is my biggest enemy sometimes it gets filled with envy,
All I want is for my mind to be clear and my thoughts to be at peace.
I tried to let go of the past and think of the now,
But the past haunts me like a ghost in the shadows,
As if I'm stuck in limbo repeating the same thought, same memory, same trauma until I can remember that it should be a distant memory.
So unintentionally I self sabotage,
I hurt people without meaning to I wish they could see inside my head cause then they would know I don't mean the pain and suffering I may have caused,
I think I'll forever be alone because nobody wants someone like me.
